says wind is a mature technology. and what have we got after 20 years and billions of dollars of subsidies? a puny amount of unreliable electricity. our country uses nearly 25% of all the electricity in the world. wind produces 3% of that. of course, it only produces it when the wind blows. it's not easy to store it. so it is of limited use in a country that needs huge amounts of low-cost, clean, reliable electricity. relying on wind power is the energy equivalent of going to war in sailboats when nuclear submarines are available. the wind subsidy is so large, mr. president, that wind developers are now paying distributors to take their wind power under cutting the base load energy plants that are necessary to provide the reliable electricity we need for the country. and on top of that, there are better ways to produce clean electricity, better ways than subsidizing a technology that destroys the environment in the name of saving the environment. for example, for the same -- it would take a row of 50 wind turbines fro

today's entrepreneurs may use different technology to develop products and reach potential markets than their predecessors, but the work ethic and the passion to do something remains just the same. this week, i encourage my colleagues to explore the impact of entrepreneurship in their communities and to engage with start-up companies working to make the lives of americans better. i have met with entrepreneurs in kansas and across the country during the last 18 months. the passion and creativity of these entrepreneurs has encouraged me. one refreshing observation is that these entrepreneurs, while competitive, want to see their fell entrepreneurs succeed. they are also building new tools that empower others to make their businesses better. but in conversation after conversation, i also have learned that there are common challenges that entrepreneurs face, some of which can be solved by congress if we follow the entrepreneur's example of seizing an opportunity, rolling up our sleeves and working together. entrepreneurs in america are finding it increasingly difficult to start a business a

the technology included the so-called system some of you have maybe read about in the last couple of days which was the republican get-out-the-vote technology to ensure people are getting to the polls. i'm told on election day it had so many hits around the country as it should have from people saying this person voted and this person didn't. but if that was under attack it closed down. so for those of you hear from again that technology field to enter some politics, we republicans want to talk to you. [laughter] we need some help. the democratic system was quite effective at micro targeting and i've heard lots of anecdotes and one this morning that you will love that somebody gets a call that's a democrat from law school and was we see that you voted and disinformation is publicly available. was it you that voted 2:00 on election day but your sister hasn't. can you call her. that's the level at that point. that led to a turnout effort that in the end makes the difference. the increase in turnout among the base democratic party is a two-point difference. i do think that as republican

you have people confuse with a very limited amount of technology and infrastructure requirements like the use of cell phones and how do you communicate during these kinds of disasters at the local level to say what your requirements are? how would you leverage those technologies to inform and independent group who is dedicated to supporting those kinds of things? that could be the csis and any non-governmental government to apply a bias or an agenda. as much as the government wants to do what it wants to do, it is there because it cares and it wants to help but everyone on the receiving end is going to be looking at it, what's in it for them? and so i think that we need a way, supposedly government supported so there is, i don't know, i know of a lot of companies that have identified ways to handle logistics and bring logistics into in a very businesslike way. yet we continue to use what we they know because it's there but it's costly and it's costly to the government that supports it. i would like to see us address a uniformly embraced standard process for how you manage and sort thr
